I tend to be hard on the fighter I'm rooting for when watching live.
Upon a rewatch I noticed all the punches Amir was missing. In the heat of the moment his fast flurries look like they land.
But Alvarez was outlanding him in effective punches starting in rd 1.
I don't think Amir will be some force at 147. He had his moments last night because Alvarez is a slow starter. Even in the rounds Amir won Alvarez was highly competitive.
He struggles against fighters with good counters and had it hard with Algieri. That isn't a fighter an elite is supposed to go 8-4 against.
Garcia would beat Amir again. Kell Brook schools him. manny beats him. Spence breaks him down.
Whenever a heavy underdog does better than expected people will exaggerate his performance.
